Honestly I can't believe we're still getting BL series this bad in 2026. This mini series runs about 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of just about an hour and it is so boring that I genuinely struggle to find the words. The actors are awkward, the story is as basic as it gets and there is almost nothing about this show worth saving. The makers do try to stir up some drama here and there but even that falls completely flat. Ho Won is a 23 year old university student who spots a man sitting alone at a gay bar and gets attracted to him. The man is Min U, a 33 year old who brushes Ho Won off immediately saying he's too young. Ho Won lies about his age and since he's made a bet with the bartender that he'll get this man home before the night is over, he switches tactics and eventually the two end up at Min U's place and sleep together. Despite being complete opposites in every way there's some kind of pull between them and they go on a couple of dates. But t...
Pakin kidnaps a a luxury hotel heir Venus, holding him captive in the unforgiving wilderness. He blames him for making his younger brother fall in love with him and breaking his heart which led to his brother committing suicide. Venus pleads and begs saying that it was his twin brother Saturn who must have done this but Pakin would take none of it. He rapes Venus, makes him do household chores and other atrocities. Meanwhile, the hotel heiress grandmother is worried at where have the town grandsons disappeared and ask her trusted advisor to find them. Her evil niece meanwhile has been eyeing the whole property and is not happy that the grandma plans to put everything in the twins name. Turns out that it was all her plan to have Venus kidnapped. Once she finds out about Pakin's younger brother suicide, she make s Saturn leave the country in fear of his life and tells Pakin that Venus is Saturn. Anyway slowly some kind of bond starts to develop between Pakin and Venus and once the truth is revealed, everything falls in place. Saturn returns to town and apologizes profusely to Pakin for what he did to his brother and in a surprise reveal, turns out that the younger brother is not really dead. The evil aunt gets punished for her deeds and Pakin and Venus get married.
My biggest problem is why did Pakin had to rape Venus in the first place in the name of avenging his brother. There are multiple ways to torture someone or take revenge. But even that aside, the attempt feels a bit amateurish and the whole plot line and everything feels hastily put together. Venus was just a cry baby. How could he not convince Pakin that he was not the right guy. He had multiple opportunities. Then we have Pakin, who is so consumed by revenge that je just doesn't listen to anyone. And why all this drama when his brother is actually alive. The only decent character was grandma's assistant who figures out what really happened with twins and why/where have they disappeared. His love angle with evil aunt's son was a surprise but I guess needed since he uses that to eventually figure out how the aunt was involved. This was one of those shows which likely was conceived 5 years ago and got made now or its the productions teams first attempt at trying something of this sort. Yes, the guys were good looking, so we had something to look forward to. Overall, this would be a pass for me. (4/10)
